"友谊不过是与他人的愚蠢和不幸结盟的另一个名称。我们自己的不幸已经足够了:为什么还要自愿加入别人的不幸呢?"
— Thomas Jefferson
Simplified Meaning:
The quote means that being friends with someone often means sharing in their problems and mistakes. It suggests that since we already have our own problems to deal with, why should we take on someone else's problems too?
